In his apartment, Rain Blackheart is packing his gear and getting ready to leave for Phoenix, Arizona for UPW: Blow Your Mind! He has a Bluetooth earpiece and is talking on his phone…
Rain: “That’s good to hear. But don’t rush your recovery, when you come back you need to be able to kick some doors down and stretch some rubes that try to get in your way… No. I haven’t heard from the lads recently. I mean Diaz has two title defenses at the next show… You hadn’t heard? Yeah, Rated M is set to defend the tag belts against Maddy and Candy then Diaz has to face Mr. Personality CJ Walker and defend the World title… Hell I don’t know, maybe because he’s all up in…. HAHAHAHA! I wish I had thought of that! Look I’ve got to finish getting my shit together… Not yet, Miss Masters is supposed to be sending that info over later today. Alright get some rest and don’t push it. Talk to you later Bishop.”
(taps the ear piece, takes it out and tosses it on the bed. There is a knock at the front door) “Come on in! I’ll be right there.”
(Rain walks into the living room and sees Terrance Christopher looking around the room)
TC: “What a shithole.”
Rain: “Why are you here Terrance? You’ve been off radar for longer than usual?”
TC: (tosses a large envelope to Rain) “The Arizona itinerary, straight from our master pro temp.”
Rain: (opens and looks over the information) “So what did you do to get demoted to errand boy?”
TC: “I volunteered because I had a spark of opportunity that I had to share.”
Rain: “Not interested.”
TC: “Mother fucker you ain’t even heard it yet. At least let me make my presentation!”
Rain: (sets the paperwork in a nearby chair) “Alright, what’s your ‘spark’?”
TC: “OK, well your Sin City title run was horse shit. You didn’t exactly get beat, Pixi just ran out the clock and you can’t get your feet back in the doorway for a rematch. Pixi is gonna keep dodging you so you may as well just step back from the Sin City belt and refocus your direction?”
Rain: “And what, go after the World belt? Not while Diaz holds it. I’m not turning on the Black Hand.”
TC: “Close, but not exact. What I’m thinking is since you are picking up wins again that you should go after the Boyd Gaming High Rollers Championship! Yeah? Can you feel what I’m getting at? You go for that belt and Should Diaz lose the World title, then you use the title shot that comes with Roller belt go right after it and bring the World Championship back home.”
Rain: “So hold a belt and become the insurance policy? That’s actually not a bad idea. The more I think about it, the more I like where it can go. I need to get past the fatal four way first. Ruby and Vile don’t worry me but this new wrestler, Trixie Mars is the wild card.”
TC: “Yes Mars is a wild card, but YOU are the professional. You can take out any of them any day of the week but all three are going to be gunning for you at the same time because a win in that match would elevate any one of them on future cards. You are going to be the focus and you need to alter your strategy. Now I can offer some assistance in that area but that would mean you would have to trust me.”
Rain: “Well there’s the rub. Yet, back in the day you did figure out some interesting game plans that produced results. Damnit, why not. I need another win, ESPECIALLY in a multi-person match so let’s do it. Then once I get through the fatal four way, I can focus on the High Roller belt and bring another belt to be held by the Black Hand. Make the arrangements.”
